oacin/attendance-project ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me an attendance system for a classroom that uses facial recognition from a webcam to mark who is present automatically.

I want a Python app that can detect faces, compare them with registered students, and save each match with the person’s name and the time they were found in a CSV file. Every time new attendance is logged, that data should be sent to a background server that stores the records. Then I want a simple web page that reads those records and shows the attendance history in a clear, easy to understand way.

It would be great if the app also has a small desktop interface for starting the camera, registering new faces, and opening the web dashboard. Use a clean setup that works with a local backend and a basic frontend, and make sure the whole thing is easy to run on a school computer. If you need to check current docs for any library details, go ahead and look them up online.
